Provenance: private collection - Cheltenham, UK. With overlapping centerfold as issued. Engraved by an unknown Dutch artist (Active: Mid 17th Century) after a drawing by Dutch artist Abraham van Diepenbeeck (1596-1675). This particular plate, 17, is the only plate from its portfolio that does not specify an engraver's name. Comes from Cavendish's one volume "Methode et Invention Nouvelle de Dresser Les Chevaux", (1737) (Second edition), which consists of 42 double-paged engravings. Printed in one color from one copper plate: black. There is a Strasbourg Bend watermark with "L R? B" in the center of the left sheet and an unidentified watermark resembling a "V" in the center of the right sheet.
The 1657-1658 (First edition) of "Methode et Invention Nouvelle de Dresser Les Chevaux" was printed and published by Jacques Van Meurs in Antwerp, Belgium in two issues, 1657 and 1658. It consists of 42 double-paged copperplate engravings executed by Dutch artists Pieter de Jode II or (the Younger) (1606-1674), Pieter Clouwet (1629-1670), Pieter van Lisebetten (1630-1678), Cornelis Van Caukercken (1626-1680), Lucas Vorsterman II (1624-c.1666), Adriaen Lommelin (1620-1673), and Theodor van Kessel (1620-1696) after drawings by Dutch artist Abraham van Diepenbeeck (1596-1675). "This first printing was largely destroyed by fire in the bookseller’s shop, and is all but impossible to acquire." - Brunet. The 1737 (Second edition) of "Methode et Invention Nouvelle de Dresser Les Chevaux" was the first to be published in England using the same original 42 copperplates and 50 woodcut text diagrams from 1658, acquired by printer/publisher Jean Brindley in London, UK.
"The Duke of Newcastle, a staunch royalist went into exile to Antwerp in 1644. Newcastle had bought a pair of Barbary horses in Paris and set up a stable for training his horses. Translated from his manuscript in English, it illustrates the riding school which, in spite of the loss of a vast fortune in England during the Civil War, he managed to build up at Antwerp where he was residing as an exile from the Commonwealth. Although showered with honors by Charles II at the Restoration, he retired to his estates in Derbyshire and devoted himself to literature, the breeding of horses and equitation. His manége near Bolsover still exists. This work, partly paid for by his friend Sir Hugh Cartwright, is a celebration of Dukes' horses and their training. The plates include five equestrian portraits, four of the author; five plates of his own horses; and 24 scenes showing horses being trained (most featuring the Duke, Captain Mazin and occasionally, a groom named Palfrenier). There are also two allegorical designs, in which the Duke is adored by a circle of reverential horses, and at the end a portrait of the Cavendish family." - Christie's, New York
Biography:
William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle upon Tyne, KG, KB, PC (c. 16 December 1593 – 25 December 1676), who after 1665 styled himself as Prince William Cavendish, was an English courtier and supporter of the arts. He was a renowned horse breeder, as well as being patron of the playwright Ben Jonson and the intellectual group known as the Welbeck Circle. Despite spending the then enormous sum of £15,000 entertaining Charles I in 1634, he failed to gain a significant political post. In the early stages of the First English Civil War, he was appointed Royalist Captain-General in Northern England; he financed much of the war effort himself, later claiming this totaled in excess of £1,000,000. After the defeat at Marston Moor in July 1644, a battle fought against his advice, he went into exile in Europe. He returned to England after the Stuart Restoration in 1660, and although created Duke of Newcastle in 1665, he remained on the fringes of the court and became critical of Charles II. He died in 1676 and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

William Henry Toms (c. 1700–1765) was an English engraver. He worked on portraits, book-plates, landscapes and prints of buildings.

In 1741, he worked with Thomas Badeslade on "Chorographia Britanniae or a New Set of Maps of all the Counties in England and Wales". The maps were republished on 29 September 1742, with additional place names. Among Toms's apprentices was the engraver and publisher John Boydell. W. H.
